Fan experience at Rogers Centre far greater with Skydome open

Now that the phenomenal weather has hit Toronto, hopefully the Rogers Centre dome will be open for balance of the remaining games. The experiences differ so vastly when it's open compared to when the dome is closed...

Baseball is an outdoor sport, it should never be watched indoors. So going to Blue Jays games with a closed roof the experience is so much worse. It's stuffy, there's no view of the great city, not to mention the cool light display on the CN Tower. The ambiance is much poorer. I'm sure the players would rather have it outdoors too.

The Rogers Centre has the wonderful ability to close the roof in the event of inclement weather, but in previous years the dome stayed closed well into May regardless of the temperature. So what if it's a bit chilly at 9 o'clock? Keep the dome open and let the fans enjoy the game the way it was intended...

Oh, and one other thing. The stadium should be called the Skydome, not the Rogers Centre, or any other corporate name for that matter...
